The global molecular biology enzymes market was valued at $2,847.63 million in 2013, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.74% to reach $5,420.63 million in 2018. Molecular biology enzymes, kits, & reagents find applications in a large number of fields in life science research. They also find application in diagnostics and drug discovery research. These products are widely used for analysis of cell surface markers, which can act as diagnostics or therapeutic targets. PCR (polymerase chain reactions) is one of the most widely-used analytical and preparative techniques in molecular biology. It finds applications in large numbers of experimental procedures, like preparative PCR, RT-PCR, qPCR, and so on. As such, it is one of the largest application segments of the molecular biology enzymes market in 2013. PCR also finds applications in diagnostics, gene expression, and DNA fingerprinting.
